I am 27 years old and have been through so many things that would bring a person down.  About 5 minutes of me being diagnosed with a brain tumor, I said I'll get through this and stopped crying.  My number one thing is to be positive.  My theory is that: This is going to happen to someone, so why not me,  It could always be worse, and There is a reason that this happened to me.

I want to encourage anyone that is feeling down and looking at the negative side of things.  I truly feel that I am blessed everyday of my life from God.  My husband was by my side for 3 months everyday and it brought us closer together.  I was the FIRST tumor patient for my doctor ever in the 34 years of practice and since me, he found 3 more.  This brought me closer to God through prayer and he gave me the strength to get through this time in my life.  So many positive things have come from a negative situation.  I do feel blessed everyday!  Things could only get better.
